It may frighten a man dependent on alcohol for his daily comfort to know he’s bored of drinking, and he might feel like he’s been zapped with a stun gun when realizes he suddenly no longer cares about the elite taste of whisky or the friendliness of beer. Largely because he might not know any other way to unwind than by using the easiest and most pleasurable way to relax all his senses. Unsure as to how else a day can be rounded off, breaking up with the bottle can cause painful anxiety. But it’s not all that stressful when one has been having threesomes with charas-ganja on the side. Easier to call off the on/off extramarital affair with pot than to give up the intimacy of alcohol’s embrace. Yet, the idea of fixing an appointment for a drinking session in the near future fills the stomach with childish panic and a crippling sense of dread. And the rituals and practices associated with imbibing now are as mundane as polite banter exchanged with a former lover. In a desperate attempt to celebrate his birthday sober for a change, a borderline alcoholic will tonight unfriend the alcohol as he would a foolish ex-girlfriend. Let the party begin.
